Bedside conversations are also referred to us pillow talk. These are the conversations that a couple engage in whenever they are in bed. Some of these conversations can make you feel on top of the world, while a few other conversations can leave you dejected and drained out of your energy as you turn in for the night.
There are households and couples that partake of this engrossing ritual within their homes and relationships while others tend to shun it altogether. A couple that doesn’t indulge in a bit of sleepy, happy conversations will never be as emotionally connected to each other as the couple that pillow talks.
So it's never too late to begin the practice and see how it plays out for your love life. Here are some interesting conversations that can strengthen your bond and boost your overall happiness as a couple:
1. Couple gossip
This involves the act of comparing your relationship to that of others, especially your friends and family. This might sound rude but let's admit it, we all love making comparisons all the time just to feel better about ourselves. This helps you maintain and better your strengths as it also helps out in correcting your flaws too.
2. Lay out your dreams and ambitions
After a long hard day, sometimes filled with disappointments and discouragement it is always reassuring to be reminded of the bigger picture by your better-half. This re-energizes the couple with a renewed vigor to face the next day with courage and motivation.
3. Perfect time to compliment each other
Imagine heading off to work feeling dejected and a little less beautiful. But when you get back home, your better-half gets to tell you in detail how amazingly beautiful and ravishing you looked today. That would definitely blow away any woman's mind.
4. Playing out your day
Talk about your day, the good and the bad of it, and the little exciting details that made you proud. This also opens your life to your partner. In that both of you are aware of each other’s lives, therefore, there's very little room for insecurity and jealousy and a lot more room for trust and love.
5. Different ways of tackling issues
Pillow-talks offer a chance for the couple to add a little creativity and innovation into their daily lives. You can talk about how to rearrange the living room, what schools are best suited for your kids and even how to better your own sex lives by introducing new ideas and styles into your love life.
6. Plan leisure and vacations
Work and family can sometimes weigh down on the happiness and feeling of satisfaction that couples derive from their day to day lives. Remember back in high school how talking about the holidays used to get you pumped and motivated to go through the term? This is what talking about vacations and planning leisure activities can do for a couple.
7. Romantic throwbacks
The most intriguing topic for a couple is the story they share. Almost every couple has a story about their genesis and journey that led them to their current situation. Reflecting on some of these happy moments like how you fell in love can strengthen the relationship and renew the zeal for love and commitment.
8. Achievements and sacrifices
Humans tend to forget lots of things when occupied with our busy day to day schedules. There is even a tendency of feeling stagnant that frustrates our lives and makes the relationship unhealthy. But when a couple reminds each other of the various milestones that they have achieved thus far, this offers motivation and appreciation for the relationship and your partner.
